During the comment challenge I came across Caroline Middlebrook who also took part in the challenge. She has produced a program called Stumble Rush. Below is the description Caroline has written about her product. It is well worth reading and I have already discovered several great websites by just “stumbling”.

StumbleUpon is essentially a “discovery tool” – it is a toolbar that sits in your browser of choice and allows the user to hit a button, the Stumble button, and be shown a website that the system thinks you are going to like. How does it know what you like? Well that’s the clever part you see…

When you first install the toolbar you’ll be asked to select topics that you are interested in and whenever you Stumble you can click a “thumbs up” button on pages that you like. Over time, the StumbleUpon algorithm learns the kinds of pages that you like and the pages that get served to you become more and more targeted to your individual preferences.

Those are the essentials of StumbleUpon from the perspective of the user but that’s not what this course is about – this course will teach you how you can leverage StumbleUpon to send traffic to your website.

It is free to trial Stumble Rush so why not have a go!
